User talk:Europeangraduateschool
To promote a dialogue with Wikipedia, European Graduate School invites wishes, proposals, and critiques to this user talk page.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your contributions are appreciated, but please make sure to read the guidelines on WP:SPAM to make sure your contributions cannot be construed as spamming. In particular:
Review your intentions. Wikipedia is not a space for personal promotion or the promotion of products, services, Web sites, fandoms, ideologies, or other memes. If you're here to tell readers how great something is, or to get exposure for an idea or product that nobody's heard of yet, you're in the wrong place.
Adding pictures to the entries of your faculty is a valuable contribution. Adding pictures with captions that link to the EGS entry can be interpreted as spam, especially if it is done on a massive scale, and the Wikipedia community might respond negatively. Always keep in mind that as a Wikipedia editor your interest has to be in encyclopedic integrity, not in promoting your venture. Thank you and happy editing. ~ trialsanderrors 23:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Chill on the AfD[edit]
It's going to be kept; but a comment coming from this account doesn't help matters in any way... it makes the advertising concern that much greater. And the whole multi-page explanation of EGS in an AfD discussion is mildly disruptive, even to strong "keep" voters like me. Basically, writing anything on Wikipedia discussions in an "official" tone winds up being very off-putting; there are no "official comments" or communications to WP, just editors. We could not care less whether or not EGS itself wants an article, nor about what it thinks of the article quality; it's about as relevant as what Gilgamesh might think of his entry, or nematode worms of theirs.
In fact, the username you chose isn't the best: your own name, or some more personal seeming nickname would be at a better level; you needn't reveal your identity if you don't want, "flizzleflazzle" is a fine username, or whatever nonsense words. There's nothing wrong with commenting somewhere that "I, flizzleflazzle, am director of admissions at EGS" (or whoever you might be), if that helps clarify your statement... but understand that it's you not EGS that is "speaking" (if this is a jointly shared account.... well, don't do that; it's easy to register as many as you want).

Spam[edit]
Please stop now spamming in all international Wikipedia's versions. Your use of the death of Jean Baudrillard for your commercial purposes is sick (see [1] on French version, and under your own name here). WP:USER : USER PAGES ARE NOT FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES. Neither is Wikipedia. Baudrillard was not cynic, he thought. You are just in plain, old, instrumental and commercial use of reason. Abou didee
- This issue was addressed by Wikipedia editors and administrators from 12-15 March 2007 on Talk:Jean_Baudrillard and Talk:European Graduate School. The concensus is that this user was not in violation of Wikipedia policies nor guidelines and that this user's contribution of images of the late Jean Baudrillard is generally an asset to Wikipedia. For the specifics of that discussion please refer to the relevant talk pages above. 68.160.140.22 06:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service.
If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:20, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
The file File:WikipediaDenis20060611.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Orphaned image, no context to determine possible future encyclopedic use.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 07:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
